Passover


Friday night was Passover. On Passover we have a family Seder dinner including parsley and salt water, horseradish, horoset(a apple nut and Honey mix) and the lamb shank bone,(We didn't have any lamb, we had a toy lamb instead) and of course matza( unleavened bread.) Each of these foods represents something to do with the Exodus story. The parsley and salt water represents the tears the Israelites shed during there time as slaves. The horseradish is to remind us of the bitterness of slavery. The horoset is to remind us even the worse circumstances can be sweetened by the Lord.The lamb is to remind us of the lamb of God, Yeshua. The matza reminds us of Yeshua.(Both were scared, broken, both rapped in linen, etc.)

For the actual dinner we had roasted chicken,cous-cous, tabuli(a middle eastern salad) beets, matza and horoset.

  2. Even if you are not Jewish by blood you can follow God's feasts.
